Paperback Business Cards

Paperback Business Cards

Transform Your Expertise Into a Powerful Business Tool

Stop handing out forgettable business cards. Start positioning yourself as the published expert in your field.

Your Expertise Is Being Wasted

  • Your business cards end up in the trash within hours
  • Prospects can't distinguish you from your competitors
  • You have valuable knowledge but no tangible way to share it
  • You're losing credibility to competitors who are "published authors"
  • Networking events leave you feeling forgettable

Introducing the Paperback Business Card

A professionally written, published book (10,000-12,000 words) designed specifically as a premium networking and credibility tool.

Instead of handing out a business card that costs 10¢ and gets thrown away, hand out a book with a per-unit printing cost of around $3 that gets kept, read, and remembered.

🎯 Instant Authority

Being a "published author" immediately elevates your credibility in any conversation

💼 Premium Networking

Hand out something people actually keep, read, and share with others

💰 Incredible ROI

At around $3 per book, landing just one client pays for hundreds of copies

📈 Multiple Revenue Streams

Use for networking, speaking events, and direct sales on Amazon

Our 9-Step PEN Process

Every Paperback Business Card project follows our proven 9-Step PEN Process—the same framework we use to publish full-length books, streamlined to get you a professional, credibility-building book in just weeks.

PEN Process for Publishing - A 9-step process showing: Stage 1 Produce (Clarify Your Message, Build Your Blueprint, Draft the Book), Stage 2 Enhance (Smooth It Out, Refine & Polish, Prepare for Print), Stage 3 Neaten (Format Like a Pro, Proof & Finalize, Publish & Deliver)

The same proven framework we use for full-length books, streamlined for your Paperback Business Card

Stage 1: Produce — Shape Your Big Idea

We make sure your book has a clear focus, strong foundation, and a plan for success.

1

Clarify Your Message

Define your audience, purpose, and the core idea that will position you as the go-to expert.

2

Build Your Blueprint

Create a working title, chapter framework, and a simple roadmap so your book flows naturally.

3

Draft the Book

Using your talks, notes, interviews, or transcripts, we craft a 50-75 page manuscript. You review, we refine.

Stage 2: Enhance — Elevate the Quality

This is where we make your book shine so it feels like a real, professional title—not a glorified pamphlet.

4

Smooth It Out

Edit for clarity, tone, and flow so your voice comes through naturally.

5

Refine & Polish

Incorporate your feedback and tighten the draft for maximum impact.

6

Prepare for Print

Apply consistent formatting and design standards so the book feels professional from cover to cover.

Stage 3: Neaten — Launch with Confidence

Your book isn't just written. It's market-ready, proofed, and published.

7

Format Like a Pro

Lay out your book for KDP (Kindle and print) so it's ready for readers.

8

Proof & Finalize

Review a physical proof and make last-minute tweaks to ensure everything looks sharp.

9

Publish & Deliver

Assign your ISBN (ICNU Press imprint available), upload to Amazon, and help you order your first author copies.

You share your expertise. We handle the process. In as little as 8 weeks, you're holding your own professionally published book—the ultimate business card.
